The Internationally renowned Garfield High School Orchestra conducted by Marcus Tsutakawa performed an evening of music culminating with guest conductor Alan Merrihew conducting The Eulipion Suite. The Eulipion Suite is comprised of two original compositions Bakit (Why) by Joselito Jose and Dreams of a Far Off Land by Alan Merrihew. Featured musicians were Aase Cohen-Kiel on oboe, Andrew Mulherkar on alto and tenor saxophones, and Eytan Nicholson on percussion. Commenting on the night's events Alan said, "I cannot thank Marcus Tsutakawa and the Garfield High School Orchestra enough for helping make my dream come true tonight. It was an incredible experience to hear The Eulipion Suite performed live by such a fine and renowned orchestra."
